imac File sharing: the original file cannot be found.

Im running a mid 2011 Imac with mavricks. I set up my linux server today I log into my account and try to open up the folder. when I try to open the folder it comes up with a notice:

The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “tszar Server” can’t be found.

Thanks for all the help.

-Tszar

OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

According to reports, if the filing protocol is SMB, you can sometimes work around the problem by forcing a CIFS connection instead. To do that, first disconnect from the file server, then select

Go ▹ Connect to Server

from the Finder menu bar, or press the key combination command-K. Then enter

cifs:// server-address

in the dialog that opens, where server-address is the IP address or domain name of the server.
